OTC Wiki To-do List | Help Requested

from Offworld Forums

The wiki is starting to get to a point where I could use some help with the more technical aspects of a few mechanics. So I'm going to make a running to-do list on here. I'll include some basic wiki formatting tips as well.

 *Most of what I need help with is adding information, not formatting. You can use the visual editor on the wiki (just click "Edit" in the top right of a page) and not have to deal with any syntax at all, if you want.


Editing the Wiki using "Edit Source":

  1. Linking to other pages
    1. Internal pages
      1. [[PageTitle|DisplayedText]]
      2. If the title and text you want to display are the same
        1. [[PageTitle]]
        2. [[PageTitle]]s will link to "page title" but show up as "page titles"
    2. Pages on the web
      1. [http://www.myexamplesite.com DisplayedText]
  2. Making a header
    1. headers show up in the page navigation and can be linked to using: [[PageTitle#HeaderTitle]]
      1. =Text= makes a large header with a horizontal line under it.
      2. ==Text== makes a header with a horizontal line under it.
      3. ===Text=== makes a header with no line under it
  3. Bulletin points
    1. Placing an asterisk(*) and then a space at the beginning of a line creates a bulletin
  4. Text box
    1. Placing a space before your line will put the text coming after it in a box
    2. Example: http://offworldtradingcompany.gamepedia.com/Market#Game_Start
  5. Using the resource icons
    1. To place a resource icon in your text use:
    2. {{Resource icon|Food}} replacing "Food" with the name of the resource you want to display
  6. Adding a new page
    1. To make a new page, simply type the title you want for it in the browser like so:
      1. http://offworldtradingcompany.gamepedia.com/My_New_Page
      2. then click on Create/Create Source in the top right
    2. Here is a list of pages that are linked to but haven't been made yet:
      1. http://offworldtradingcompany.gamepedia.com/Special:WantedPages
  7. Making a Table
    1. http://help.gamepedia.com/Basic_tables 
    2. http://help.gamepedia.com/Advanced_tables 
  8. help.gamepedia.com has all of the information required to do more advanced edits, if you're interested.


To-do List:

Thanks in advance to anyone who chooses to help! I'll update this post as needed and to show what has been completed on the list.

This is what the wiki's front page looks like for me: http://prntscr.com/9iql57

Basically, it's a bit wide for those of us stuck at lower resolutions. It does look reasonably fine at 75% zoom, though.

WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

That is an issue I have yet to find the solution for. There has to be a style sheet somewhere, but it may be accessible only to staff and gamepedia admins. I can adjust it so everything is smaller for all resolutions, but I'd rather find a way to make it scale to the window's size. I'll keep looking around, the last request I asked of an admin has sat unfinished for over a week :/ (and the guy said he'd get right on it).

Should be fixed, at least down to 1366x768. The two videos with static sizing and some other things were blocking the page from scaling.
